What if the Zeroni family had a protector? One that has been protecting the family since Madame Zeroni's time. Krystara Diem, first ever girl to go to Camp Green Lake. Was it coincidence that brought her here, or was it fate?
After we had finished the rest of the Sploosh, we set out for our new destination. Hector walked with his shovel, the sun was quick to resume its assault. I hummed tentatively, casually walking alongside Caveman, purposely avoiding looking in his direction. "So.. Did uh.. Did Ziggy, say anything after I left?" I ask slowly, still not looking at him whatsoever. I could almost see the humorous look they shared despite not looking at them, my brow twitching at the sound of him suppressing a huge grin as he spoke.
"Yeah, actually. Me and him actually got in a small argument about it too. Don't worry, nothing happened." He deliberately tells me some, leaving out key details, major factors and important information he knew I wanted to know.
"And?" I pushed.
"What? Wait, what happened after I left?" Zero asked cluelessly, glancing at both Caveman and I. I couldn't help but let a laugh stressfully as I thought back to the events that transpired.
"Well, before she ran after you, she uh. She told-" Caveman started from when I told mom off as I cringed and shielded myself from him with my arms up, as if trying to block him out somehow.
"No. Nope. We're not talking about that. Mhmm. Not today. Stop it." I shake my head, this only making Zero even more interested. Zero smirks as he glances at me, pushing Caveman to continue.
"She then skipped her way over to Zig-Zag, told him she was still mad at him, and then- she started kissing him, dude! You should have seen the other guys' reaction!" I wallowed in fake misery, them joking heavily on the matter.
"No way!" I cried out at Zero's exclamation of disbelief and humor. A smile formed on my face despite me not wanting it too.
"I had a feeling you liked him." I rolled my eyes at his next comment, giving him a light shove as we still walked.
"You?? The whole camp knew! All besides maybe Zig-Zag himself. And he thinks I'm clueless.." I snort at this, slapping my hands over my face at this.
"Stop! Wait.. Did.. Did the whole camp really know?" I asked, suddenly even more aware of my feelings and obvious signs of affection I've probably shown towards the boy. The two share a look, turning back to me simultaneously.
"I'm sure not the whole camp kne-" Zero starts, only to be cut off abruptly by Caveman.
"Nah, they knew." I stared at him flatly as they burst out laughing at this.
"Oh, ha-ha.."

We began our descent up the large mountain, already feeling the strain this trip was going to put on us before we even started.
"This place is huge!" I cried. We started up the dangerous trek ahead of us. I nod, mentally preparing myself.
"We better get up before dark." Stanley comments strategically.
